My Belittled Husband Is A Billionaire

Winter’s POV

“Excuse me, can you repeat that part again?” Ian said to me for the fifth time.

We were already doing script reading for the new movie that I have to do with him, even though that’s the last thing I want to do.

“I already read that part a hundred times now,” I said, irritated.

“Then repeat it again. At least pour some emotions into it.”

I was about to yell at him, but then Haley stopped me by holding my arm.

Right. There are so many cameras around us, so I have to behave well. And aside from that, he keeps on threatening me he would spill my past if I don’t agree with what he wanted me to do.

What a pain in the ass.

I covertly rolled my eyes as I heaved a sigh and started reading that line in the script once again.

We kept on repeating that until he got satisfied and the script reading finally ended.

“We’re finally done! We will begin shooting the first episode next week!” said the director to us.

“Olivia, give me my bag.”

“Y-Yes, Miss Winter.”

“So, see you next week?”

I rolled my eyes as I faked a smile at Ian. “See you next week, asshole.”

“I don’t even know why that asshole is acting like that. He’s probably still mad at me for rejecting him back when we were in middle school! Is it my fault that he wasn’t that handsome?!” I yelled while eating potato chips inside my room.

“But I think he’s actually quite handsome, Miss Winter. He’s the most handsome celebrity in the country right now.”

“Handsome? Where? That dumbass never really changed.”

Olivia shrugged. “By the way, Miss Winter. Is Sir Matthew here already? Are you sleeping in the same room?”

I looked at her. “Are you an idiot? And why would I even share the same bed with that moron?! I don’t care about him, I don’t even care if someone ever kidnaps him.”

“T-That’s mean, Miss Winter. I think Sir Matthew is a good person. And after all, he is still your husband.”

“I will never consider that man my husband. One day, I will reveal all of his secrets and take him back to wherever the hell my grandpa got him.”

Themis’ POV

“Come on, hurry up and bring that inside!” Mrs. Wesley said to me as soon as we reached their house.

“Y-Yes, ma’am!”

Even though I was struggling to carry the boxes of the things that she bought, I still brought them all inside.

“Next, make sure to drive Summer to her pad.”

“Mom, I have my car and I can drive for myself. And can’t you see how tired Matthew is already? You made him do so many things all day when he also has a job as the president of our company. Don’t you feel sorry for him?” said Summer.

“Well, he was the one who wants this, so it’s his fault. Does he want to be a part of our family? Then he needs to sacrifice! He’s wrong if he thinks he can be a part of this family so easily.”

“Mom…”NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

I shook my head. “Oh no, it’s alright. I truly understand your mom. And she’s right, even if you have your own car and you can drive for yourself, it would be better if I just drive you home since it’s late now.”

“See? It’s fine with him. Come on, honey. You need to go home now. You still have work tomorrow, right?”

“O-Oh, right.”

“And you, Matthew. Don’t you even dare do something awful to my daughter or you’re dead. Make sure she’ll go home safely.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

Later on, Summer and I finally went inside my car.

“Matthew, I’m so sorry.”

I just put my seatbelt on, then I looked at her. “Why are you apologizing to me?”

“For all the things that my mom asks you to do. You know, she might be quite annoying and too demanding. She even asked you to drive me home, which is definitely not your responsibility. You should drive your wife home instead of me.”

“It’s alright. I do understand her anyway. Your family is a wealthy and respectable one. For sure, it wouldn’t be so easy for her to accept me as her son-in-law.”

“But for sure, she will accept you one day. By the way, speaking of accepting you. How are you doing with my sister? I mean, are the two of you doing well? Is she treating you well?”

I took a deep breath without taking my eyes off the road. “Well, Winter and I are doing pretty well. And we also both decided not to meddle with our individual lives. It’s like, we’re just living under the same roof but we don’t treat each other as husband and wife.”

“And, are you alright with that?”

“Huh? Well, that’s fine with me if that’s what she wants. I mean, I can’t force her to love me, anyway. Besides, she never really wanted to get married to me.”

“You’re right. As far as I know, Winter never really had any boyfriend before. Don’t worry, Matthew, for sure she will appreciate you soon enough. Once she finds out how nice you are.” Summer said while smiling at me.

I just smiled. “Thanks.”

Summer is actually quite nicer than Winter. I just don’t know why it seems like Winter hates her so much.
